Was it the first meet of his newly formed ebike club has he made you road captain

Your bike was not running at 40:1. Someone wasn’t using the dyno properly. At Hilltop? Surely not?!!
He’s keeping that for you so that you no longer need to wear that polite c*nt hi vis.
Actually, as I have the original dyno and ftar, and am more than capable of reading a graph, the figure does indeed show 40:1, it was not underload.I don’t believe for 1 second that it was 40:1 whilst fuel was being fed in under load and accelerating hard - just so much bollox about this stuff and soooo much obfuscation by the high priests so they can keep their ‘art’ mysterious and make a quick buck.
Which is why no one ever goes back to have a second or third bike done by them
I think, it was tongue in cheek.What do you base that statement on? I’m aware of many people who have had several bikes done.

But hey you were all there and seeing what was happening. Shame you fucked off when the bill was due.
There is subjective and objective observation, but as a Ceng what do I know ?

True, and others lept before they looked. We all err at times.I am sure there are conditions when 40:1 is just fine, so just stating 40:1 without stating the conditions is utterly misleading, CEng or not, you should know that.

The graphs are objective data, and I too was surprised at the ftar, and why the valves were still there !
Subjectively, it does seem that these engines run very lean, mostly to pass emmisions/sound tests, also it was found that there was a K&N filter fitted which along with the other mods, may have further impact. Again that's only my observation, but after 40+ years of playing about with different engines and a reasonable comment.
There are lots of different ways to "improve" these engines, some work better than other's. One researches what is available and then hopefully make an informed choice.
Or you just go shiny, shiny bling: want it.

A true generalisation; now a days it seems that marketing and accounts run the companies.I agree, it is always a complex compromise as with any engineering - manufacturers have constraints within which they must work, they are many: safety, reliability, economy, emissions, wide operating range of temperature, altitude, rideability, variable fuel quality etc, etc.
‘Tuners’ ignore some or most of these constraints, simplfy the message they give out to appeal to their target audience so they can make money BUT when quizzed about the compromises they have made they often become very coy because they want to keep quiet about the possible downsides - some of which may be in the grey area between what’s legal and what isn’t.
P.S. how accurate is the ratio measurement at all rpm? How’s is it made? The graphs are objective data but unless all of the conditions are specified they become meaningless.
You don't know better.What’s wrong with your fuelling? my 2018 Rallye TE is fine in that respect - I’m on my 5th 1200 since 2005, never had an issue with ‘fueling’ on any of them
Interesting but not relevant .. spends loads of money , its his choice .
Now back to Hilltop .. will he take the challenge.
Look thro previous posts on here as i have posted results , on my GS ( 3 in total) also i have had my 1200s Ducati done as well and yes it does make a difference , you sound like a bit of an armchair commentator to me ... man up yourself take the Hilltop challenge , pay for the tune and if you don't like it Geoff will give you your money back. You will find your own answer to the comments you posted. Put you money where your mouth and typing fingers are FFS .
Also i ride shit loads and also polish the shit out of my bike as i love it.
You don't know better.
The future is whatever colour you want.

Yet most were originally started by engineers and the like.
Everything is a cost/risk balance and has to work on the lowest common denomination.
I well remember this phrase from my grandfather, a civil and mining engineer.
An engineer builds for sixpence what a fool know takes a shilling to make.

I'm surely not the only one who's noticed the parallels between the Hilltop debate and alternative medicine?
All the components are there; a guru, acolytes, a lack of evidence, subjects who want it to work, a solution in search of a problem, ill-defined end points, the exchange of monetary reward - all the elements for a strong placebo effect.
Don't get me wrong, I'm entirely agnostic on whether Hilltop works or not, but the parallels are compelling.
